    Member first email.  A nice touch to make those supporters who take that further step of commitment to the club a little special.  I like it.

    I have personally found the clubs email IT to be pretty clunky and unreliable at times.  When I've tried to switch my primary email address its often taken several attempts for it to come into effect.  A bit disappointing, but that's the wounders of IT for you.

    I wonder for how long Salem will sign.

    Signing up now means he has eschewed Free Agency and suggests he could become a one club player.  He is 26 would be very happy to see him sign for 4 to 5 years.

    Signed. 5 years. 

    Woo Hoo!  5 Years - just as I hoped.  Takes him until 31 and hopefully another one-club player!!

    Will have great pleasure updating the 'Contracts' thread.

    It's not the "clubs email IT". Those emails are EDMs that are hosted and sent via ticketmaster.

    Great news, the other beauty of the 5 year deal (without knowing all the $ involved) is the assumption that he might have taken a little less for a longer contract, which then helps retain Oliver, Trac etc. I know Lever extended his contract earlier this year with a similar thing in mind, shows a great mindset from the guys that they want to not only play here, but have their mates stick around as well because we can then afford them!

    Maybe it is a settings thing or they have an old email address of yours on record? 
    I received it

    Five years is an excellent result. He is best mates with Trac and Oliver, both of whom will come out of contract during his 5 year contract.... fingers crossed Salem staying put will go just a tiny way to swaying those two to also sign on.

    From the outside it seems like Oliver, Salem, Brayshaw, Gawn and Trac are very tight. Hopefully this means Trac isn't far off.

    Wow 5 years...  will probably end up a 1 club player.  Awesome news for an awesome player who should be in the current AA team. 

    And theres surely no way Petracca leaves now.

    Great news!  a key pillar in our Premiership attack.  These long term deals for our guns should set us up nicely to be able to manage our cap.  Assuming he is only on good money (not crazy money), we should know exactly what money we have to offer Trac.

    5 year deals only screw your cap when the money is massive. having stability and showing faith and loyality back to our players is a great show of faith and should come back to reward us

    Excellent news. 

    He is such a cog to this team. 

    I was always critical of his pace and height, but seeing his poise, hardness and kicking ability it's been exactly what we need. 

    Great news. Would be amazed if Tracc doesn't sign now.

    The next 5 years should be something.  Trac/Viney/Oliver/Salem/Langdon/Lever all in their prime.  It's our best chance to win a flag in a looooooong time

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
